MOUNTAINEERING -- A climber has died after falling about 1,000 feet on the south side of Mount Hood, the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office said today. 

Sgt. Adam Phillips told the Oregonian no identification would be released until the body is recovered off the mountain. 

Other climbers saw the man fall Thursday morning and alerted authorities. 

Phillips says the body was found at 10,000 feet in a gully below Hogsback Ridge in an area near Crater Rock, according to a report moved by the Associated Press.

Zac Snow, a 27-year-old climber from Ashland, passed the area where the man fell. He told The Oregonian he couldn’t see the fallen climber but said it was pretty steep where the climber had been. 

Good weather attracted dozens of climbers to the peak late Wednesday and early Thursday.
